Based on the teachings of Shri Mahayogi<\/a> and their application by practitioners.<\/strong> \u00a0***<\/p>\n \u00a0A RECEIVER’S VOICE:\u00a0Pranavadipa <\/a><\/em>Vol. 8<\/strong><\/p>\n You are What You Eat<\/strong><\/p>\n Before reading the latest article in Pranavadipa<\/a><\/em> I never really gave much seriousness to my diet or how a meal came to be in front of me. Not that I ate junk food, but I never really put much thought into my meals and the effects they have on me. In the article, “The Essence of Diet in Yoga,\u201d the last sentence reads ” ‘Eating’ is directly related to ‘living.’ What we choose to eat and how much we eat\u2014by considering these aspects of our diet, our dietary lifestyle becomes an opportunity for us to inquire into the essence of our lives and how we ought to live.\u201d<\/em> Our diet is piercing into the essence of the state of our mind.<\/p>\n Speaking from my personal experience, I have observed that my eating habits or sudden urges for a particular food usually reflect the state of my mind; whether the mind is in a state dominated by the quality of sattva<\/i>, rajas <\/i>or tamas<\/i>. Naturally, when asana<\/i> is practiced regularly the mind has more of the quality of sattva<\/i> and I tend to desire more vegetarian-style meals; then there are those times when my cravings are meatier and I tend to eat until I am full. During these times it becomes clear that my mind is in a state in which rajas<\/i> or tamas <\/i>prevails. My judgements are not usually the best, and old habits become more difficult to fight. As the saying goes \u201cyou are what you eat.\u201d It is important to remember that eating is the transfer of energy, from one life form to another, to further its existence. That energy comes to be manifested in us, and can be restless or calm. \u00a0In The Universal Gospel of Yoga<\/a><\/em>, Shri Mahayogi<\/a> speaks of Gandi and how by controlling his diet he was able to gain control of his tongue and sexual energy.<\/p>\n In addition to the types of foods we eat and how they affect our mental state, the attitude we have towards our meals will also influence the mind.<\/p>\n From correct portion size to the importance of balancing how a meal is seasoned, proper nutrition is vital to support our bodies as we aim to realize the goal of Yoga. In showing gratitude towards each meal for how it got to our table\u2014from the grocery store clerk, to the driver who transports, to the farmer who plants and to God who nourishes the plant to grow\u2014and in taking the time to appreciate these processes, we begin to recognize that all things in nature co-exist and support each other. As practitioners of Yoga, having a yogic diet that is primarily vegetarian, as well as balanced and nutritious, greatly aids us in the battle to control the mind. Being mindful and showing deep appreciation for nature\u2019s co-existence, I now give much more thought as to how much I eat, what I eat, and what kind of energy I want to incur, calm or restless.\u00a0 I offer gratitude for each component that gave up its life energy so that I am able to sustain and nourish this body.<\/p>\n Aniruddha<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *****<\/p>\n The Kitchen of SAMARASA, The Way of Cooking in Yoga<\/strong><\/em> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n *****<\/p>\n Pranavadipa<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>is a Monthly Publication of Online Study Material containing the Teachings of Satguru Shri Mahayogi Paramahansa <\/a>\uff06 the Experiences of Practitioners that is available by annual subscription.
